The jacket carries bands on the torso and sleeves; the trousers carry a band around each ankle, which is the part of a walking figure that a driver picks up first in rain and spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluorescent yellow-green coated waterproof jacket with attached hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective bands on the jacket torso and sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching coated trousers with an elasticated waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective band around each trouser ankle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJacket cut to sit over the trouser waist without exposing a gap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy it as a set\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixing a rain jacket with ordinary trousers leaves the lower body without either waterproofing or reflection, which is exactly the half of a walking figure that is hardest to see at night in rain. Buying the two as one build also means the fluorescent batch matches, so the set does not read as two different yellows under a headlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNight shifts in wet weather, roadworks and breakdown recovery, and any crew issued rainwear as a complete outer layer rather than as a jacket only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBought as a set, because the lower half is where it fails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacket and trouser are sold together for a reason: the banding is laid out as one system, so the torso band, the sleeve band and the ankle band all appear on the same figure. Mixing a rain jacket with ordinary trousers leaves the legs with neither waterproofing nor reflection, and the legs are the half of a walking figure a driver sees first at night. The ankle band on the trouser is the part most often missing from a jacket-only purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to confirm before ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass or type you are buying to\u003c\/strong\u003e: EN ISO 20471 class 1, 2 or 3, or an ANSI\/ISEA 107 type. The same garment cannot be every class, so the class has to be stated before the banding is fixed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe layer it goes over\u003c\/strong\u003e: Class areas are measured on the garment, not on the outfit. A jacket worn over a fleece has to fit over the fleece, which may mean a larger size rather than less banding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhether waterproofing or flame retardancy is also required\u003c\/strong\u003e: Those are separate standards with separate tests. A high-visibility claim says nothing about either.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand width and layout, if your buyer's spec fixes them\u003c\/strong\u003e: Two suppliers can both meet a class with different layouts, so a fixed layout is a spec item and not a detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhether trims, logos and pockets may reduce the fluorescent area\u003c\/strong\u003e: Some specs prohibit it.

Band width, band count, fluorescent area and the way they are laid out are all measured on the finished article, and the class belongs to that article. What can be stated here is the standard the build is designed against and how the banding is arranged; what cannot be stated on a product page is that a particular batch's certificate matches your requirement. That certificate is requested per order, against the standard and class in your purchase spec, and it is the document your customer's auditor will ask for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated formats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor closely related builds see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hi-vis-rain-jacket\"\u003eHi Vis Rain Jacket\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hi-vis-long-raincoat\"\u003eHi Vis Long Raincoat\u003c\/a\u003e.
